RenderCV Pipeline

Are you ready to revolutionize the way you manage and craft your CVs and resumes?

Picture this:

  1. You simply update your src/John_Doe_CV.yaml input file and push the changes.
  2. Then, a pipeline generates a new PDF and Markdown from it and uploads it to the repository.
  3. When you are done with your work, you can create a new release on GitHub, tagging your CV with something like v2024.04. The pipeline will automatically add the PDF and its $\LaTeX$ source as assets to the release.
  4. You have successfully created your CV pipeline, and all the history is in safe hands and reproducible.

How to start?

  1. Click here to create your CV repository based on this rendercv-pipeline template repository.

  2. Edit either

    • the src/John_Doe_CV.yaml file, or
    • the contents of src/markdown or src/classic directories

    and push. Then, see the magic happen.

Some tips

  1. Learn more about RenderCV to understand what you can do with this tool.
  2. Edit and preview your CV in your browser without installing anything by creating a codespace. Click the <> Code button, then click the Codespaces tab, and then click Create codespace on main. The environment will be ready for RenderCV usage.
  3. Update .vscode/launch.json to point to your YAML file and press F5 to run RenderCV in the browser.

John Doe's CV

Welcome to RenderCV!

RenderCV is a LaTeX-based CV/resume framework. It allows you to create a high-quality CV or resume as a PDF file from a YAML file, with full Markdown syntax support and complete control over the LaTeX code.

The boilerplate content is taken from here, where a clean and tidy CV pattern is proposed by Gayle Laakmann McDowell.

Quick Guide
